Discussion Items
debrief January 5, 2011 CIP day
Leadership Team feels that ESU staff feel that there is value in the process of becoming accredited. The day was productive and people seemed to be involved and worked toward a purpose.
School districts within the ESU do not seem to be utilizing data to drive decision making. The Leadership Team would like to work towards helping districts with data retreats and taking time to look at their data. The Leadership Team added data completion and review for districts as an Action Plan.
Discussion concerning curriculum and not using a textbook as your sole curriculum is something that could be addressed. RtI would be a way in which school districts could look at curriculum and necessary supplements.
DIBELS data may be a good piece of data to use that is consistent across all districts.
Although the text in Essential Artifacts looks like a checklist, but it is not to be viewed as a checklist.
Demographics of the ESU may be important to establish trend data. Becky puts together an annual report of the demographics. This information is available on the ESU 17 website and Jeff hyper linked it to the CIP Wiki. To add to this information, Germaine will look into data developed by Randy Butcher for demographics.
We have a mission and vision statement that can also be hyper linked.
Guide and services provided is available on the ESU 17 website.
Leadership Team minutes, Advisory Council minutes, ESU 17 Board meeting minutes. Dennis will be consulted on the posting of Advisory Council minutes being posted.
Surveys to teachers could serve a dual purpose. First to make them aware that student data is available, and secondly that it can be used via assistance through the ESU. It could open the door for us to help them. Discussion with administration would be the first step, along with talking about the use of time during in-service days to look at data.
The ESU 17 mission statement is posted on the website, maybe vision statement should be there also. Mission and vision statements should be provided during awareness visits that are done at the beginning of each school year. A bookmark with our mission and vision statements may be created and place in each library within the ESU 17 area (the website could also be placed on the bookmark). During the annual newspaper ad for ESU 17 the website address may need to be included.
